After doing some reading in the New Testament, in order to gain some perspective on the Old Testament, I came across these passages.
"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." -JESUS in Matthew 6:6
“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” - JESUS in Matthew 18:19
Now all of these sayings I found in the book of Matthew and yet they tell a different account on how to pray. So which one is it? Are we to pray alone in the recess of our own private place or are we to keep prayer within a trusted companionship, or are we to follow the old go tell it on the mountain scenario and meet up with our "church family" circle to raise up our prayers in public rejoice?
The Bible offers us many different ways to do things like prayer, but when one-way conflicts with the other, how do we know which one is right?
